Chapter 251 Picking up leaks
Chapter 251: Picking up the litter
Qin Yue learned from the information that bloodstones can be played with like other jades. Bloodstones need a good preservation environment and must be cleaned regularly. Overall, they are a troublesome stone. People who don’t like it may stay away from it, while those who like it look different.
Judging from the current known situation, it is true that the bloodstone they encountered today is from the underground grave. But the value may not be higher than that in later periods, and Qin Yue was also thinking in his heart.
This bloodstone is a mineral native to Changhua, Lin'an, Zhejiang. It was originally used to extract "mercury" raw materials. Since the 1970s, it has gradually been sought after by collectors because of its beautiful appearance and is very suitable for carving seals. Two thousand years later, bloodstone has scarce resources due to excessive mining, and its value has begun to rise sharply.
Changhua bloodstone is divided into several types: frozen ground, soft ground, hard ground, and rigid ground. The Mohs hardness ranges from 2.5-6. Frozen ground and soft ground are more valuable. Hard ground and rigid ground are bloodstones that are not easy to carve, and their collection value is greatly reduced.
The golden rooster in Qin Yue's hand was beyond the bright red color. Although he could not see the crystal clear and gentle as mentioned in the book, it was quite good in terms of overall quality. Moreover, this is indeed an antique, and the key depends on the price. Qin Yue thought in his heart.
"It is said that the chicken blood stone can promote the family and avoid evil, ward off disasters and protect the body, and bring good luck to people, so it is loved by people. For example, this genuine chicken blood stone will never be wrong when it is collected." Qin Hongmei did not forget to explain on the side.
Tang Han didn't have much concept of this Shoushan stone, blood stone, etc. Whether it was collection or hobbies, he had to cultivate interest and observation. After hearing what she said, Tang Han smiled and said, "I think this stone is not much different from those!"
Tang Han glanced at the stones outside. As a rookie, the difference between them was really not big. Tang Han was also wondering when the roles he and Qin Yue began to change, and now he is the turn to play the black face.
Qin Hongmei and Chen Jianping could understand it, so their main attack direction is Qin Yue. Like the Xiuyu ring in the morning, although it is not as noble as jade, as long as it is rare and if the little girl likes it, Tang Han has to pay for it obediently.
Of course, it is also very necessary to blow the air in Tang Han's ear. Chen Jianping took the opportunity to say the lines he had spoken thousands of times. "According to statistics from senior jade collectors, the price of fine chicken bloodstones has increased nearly ten times in the past five years. Like a Dahongpao seal made of Changhua chicken bloodstone, the market price in 2002 was 50,000 yuan, and now 500,000 yuan may be sold! Tens of millions of sky-high bloodstones can often be seen. Although it is a little late now, the collection of chicken bloodstones is still heating up. According to this market, there is still a lot of room for growth!"
"Is it that crazy?" Tang Han shook his head gently, and no longer looked at Qin Yue's identification of the golden rooster, but focused his attention on some items placed outside. Qin Hongmei had quite a lot of things in the store, including Tang Han, probably fake ornaments, carvings, seals, white jade raw stones and accessories, as well as some objects made of Shoushan stones and Qingtian stones. Of course, most of these things are very ordinary, and it is still possible to deceive those who have just entered the industry.
"Why aren't there? It's not worse than jade and white jade at all. Everyone knows that it's crazy stone!" Chen Jianping said.
"Then I would rather buy these ordinary stones. The price has increased so much that it will be almost done even if it is not over. At this time, hey... whoever likes to buy will buy it!" Tang Han sighed, and his head shook even more violently. Now he has missed the best opportunity to enter the industry. Naturally, he will not be moved by Chen Jianping's words, but he also sighed in his heart that if he entered the industry a few years ago, he would have made a lot of money.
Just as he shook his head, Tang Han felt that the scene in front of him seemed to have changed. He is now visually keen and has super strong ability to capture, and it is almost impossible to see things like dazzled.
Concentrating on his attention, Tang Han shook his head again, feeling like he was playing a game where everyone came to find fault, finding out the differences between the two pictures in the front and back. His deliberate efforts were not in vain, there were differences in front and back.
The problem lies in the ancient beast carving seal. The seal is not big, it is only more than ten centimeters high and only about two centimeters long and width. This seal is very ordinary. Whether it is a newbie who has just entered the industry or a veteran who has read all the Qianfans, the first reaction he will see is this.
But Tang Han discovered something strange. He found that the seal was slowly changing color, and the original purple color gradually faded. The first thought that flashed through Tang Han's mind was, was it a fake dye, and now the original shape was revealed?
But Tang Han thought about it again and thought that it seemed unlikely. It was not good for Shoushan stone to dye it purple. Maybe that was the case!
But no matter what, Tang Han felt that only by holding it in his hand and looking carefully can he truly distinguish the good and bad.
Seeing that Chen Jianping couldn't persuade him, he didn't say much and didn't care about him anymore. His eyes turned to Qin Hongmei, hoping that she could find a breakthrough in Qin Yue. You know, the tuition fees for beginners are the most anticipated by their businessmen.
Tang Han had his own freedom, so he held the seal in his hand and observed it carefully.
This is an ancient beast sculpture, carvings a dragon and phoenix hovering together. The sword is simple and tidy, and it is suitable for playing without stinging hands.
When Tang Han held it in his hand and played with it, the color change effect I saw before became more obvious.
The purple color became lighter and lighter. Tang Han felt strange. He looked at it carefully and did not look like dyed, and there was no trace of axe and chisel that was revealed by dyeing. On the contrary, this seal gave him a good feeling, just like the patina of white jade. It had to be refined over time. Only after someone played with it was a unique layer of indescribable feeling, which made people feel comfortable.
When he put down the seal, Tang Han found that the purple color gradually became richer. Of course, the nuances in it were only for the previous moment, and only Tang Han's abnormal discrimination ability could feel it.
Is the color of this stone still related to the temperature?
Such a thought flashed through Tang Han's mind. Even though he was scraping his stomach, he could not think of any kind of stone that would have such functions.
But no matter what, what you want is to be different.
Tang Han took the seal into his hand again and held it tightly, so that the temperature of the seal should rise. He wanted to verify whether his own guess was wrong.
There was a trace of expectation in his heart. When Tang Han shook his hand for a while, he found that most of the purple had disappeared, replaced by a faint yellow.
This also fully confirms Tang Han's idea. This seal does change its color as the temperature changes.
Unfortunately, Tang Han could not verify what the limit of this seal was, what color it would become, what purple it would be at low temperatures, what yellow it would be when the temperature rose, and will it be golden yellow?
But just for this, he had the idea of taking it in his pocket. No matter what, this seal looks very interesting.
Then Qin Hongmei and his wife were still serving Qin Yue, the little ancestor. As long as she liked it, everything would be easy to do.
Qin Yue is still trying to distinguish the incomplete and beautiful golden rooster here, but the more she analyzes, the more she finds it difficult to figure out. Although her theoretical knowledge is rich, it makes people unable to distinguish it in practice. Especially the price of the collection is very mysterious, and the price is OK.
Qin Yue finally asked about the price. Before Qin Hongmei could speak, Chen Jianping rushed to say, "If Xiaoyue likes it, even if you are cheaper, take it for 180,000 yuan!"
Qin Yue was shocked. Outside her psychological endurance, she didn't say anything at the moment and pulled Tang Han to the side to discuss in a low voice.
Qin Hongmei saw that it was bad. Did she scare them? She glared at Chen Jianping fiercely, but this guy didn't repent. When he took it from his friend, the price was not low, so of course he was unwilling to sell it at a low price. Besides, this is a real antique, and there is room for appreciation, so he is not afraid of it if he keeps it in his hand!
When Qin Yue asked, Tang Han's opinion was also very clear. Although this golden rooster is an antique, it is incomplete and difficult to maintain. It is a good idea to take a look. There is no need to have it, and there will be opportunities in the future.
Qin Yue suddenly chuckled, and the same sentence was still said, "You have it after seeing it." He really couldn't move everything home. Not only did he not have that much money, he couldn't put it at home.
So Qin Yue said to Qin Hongmei, "Although I like this golden rooster independent, the price is too expensive. We are also beginners in bloodstone and dare not take the risk of buying such expensive items."
"Then you look at the others?" Qin Hongmei said helplessly.
In fact, there are still some fine products she brought out. Unfortunately, Tang Han is a rookie and acts very rookie. He can see the good or bad, but he can't see the price. Qin Yue has rich theoretical knowledge, but he also can't see the price clearly. However, they also agreed that they would not buy any of the prices that were too expensive, which made Qin Hongmei's thoughts go to waste.
"We can't go home empty-handed! Buy some ordinary people first and go back and learn before talking about it!" After reading the fine products displayed by Qin Hongmei, Tang Han made up the idea of not going home empty-handed and said it out loud.
"There are too much knowledge in this!" Qin Yue couldn't help but sigh, "It's better to explore slowly."
Tang Han seemed to have picked a few randomly, including the seal he saw before. Tang Han also said to Qin Yue, "Look at this seal, it's good to take it back and carve a few words as my special seal!"
